A Republican senator says President Trump has shown more respect for U.S. troops during his first nine months in office than former President Barack Obama did in two terms.
Trump “has shown more respect for our troops in the first nine months then the prior president did in his eight years of office,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters in the wake of Trump’s remarks on reaching out to families of fallen U.S. service members.
